“…While emerging literature suggests a role for First Nations knowledges and the arts in supporting both economic and community development (Bartleet et al, 2019, 2021; Sunderland, et al, 2022), discussions of spatial and social justice must centre on the fact that Australia does not have a treaty with First Nations peoples.…”

The arts remain largely absent from place‐based policy, planning and programming in Australia, despite a long history of working in place‐based ways to create positive social change in communities. This systematic review aimed to address this absence, by providing a synthesis of evidence about the role that place‐based arts can play in advancing social equity and addressing social disadvantage. Findings reveal a potential for the arts to create change across individual, community and societal levels, yet empirical evidence to support this potential is weak. Stronger evaluation frameworks that can support capturing the impact of localised place‐based arts initiatives for translation into policy and practice are discussed.

“…Previous research into arts and culture in regional Australia (Bartleet, Sunderland, O’Sullivan and Woodland 2019) found that regional artists relied heavily on support from arts organisations in the form of space and resources. This was only partially true for those in our study.…”

“…However, existing research on this is focused on urban and peri-urban settings, with far less attention focused on regional locations. Peer support and access to knowledge and resources have been shown to be critical for creative workers (Florida 2014), especially in regional areas (Bartleet et al 2019; Mackay, Klaebe, Hancox and Gattenhof 2021) and there has been significant investment in resources for regional development by state and federal governments in Australia, some of it directed towards the arts and technology (Bilandzic, Foth and Hearn 2020). Yet it is not clear how regional creative practitioners are connecting with these resources, their communities or each other.…”

Examining the role of arts and culture in regional Australia often focuses on economic aspects within the creative industries. However, this perspective tends to disregard the value of unconventional practices and fails to recognise the influence of regional ecological settings and the well-being advantages experienced by amateur and hobbyist musicians who explore ubiquitous methods of music creation. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among practitioners in regional Australia, exploring their utilisation of creative technology ecosystems. This project marks the first independent, evidence-based study of experimental electronic music practices in regional Australia and how local and digital resource ecosystems support those activities. Spanning the years 2021 and 2022, the study involved interviewing 11 participants from many Australian states. In this article, we share the study’s findings, outlining the diverse range of experimental electronic music practices taking place across regional Australia and how practitioners navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by their local context.
